I have this very strange issue with text on a path.
when trying to change the font, it doesn't update the font initially typed wtih. Meaning, if i type in ARIAL, then try and change it to TIMES, the TIMES font is shown over top of the ARIAL font.
I have included two screen shots. Had to take picture...screen cap wouldn't work to show the error. I have tried this selected the font, or even selecting the object and changing the font..same out come.

Is it possible to have Text On Path in Affinity Photo?
I know it's possible in Affinity Designer but I can't seem to do it in Affinity Photo.
I tried creating a Path with the Pen Tool and then using the Artistic Text Tool and typing but can't get it to follow the path.

Is there a way (directly or as a not-horribly-time-comsuming-warp-each-single-letter work around) to keep text on a curved path upright? Or is there a better tool than "text on a path"?
What I want to do is create an undulating path and have text follow it, but I want all the letters to remain upright/vertical. A perfect example is the "Daughters of the American Revolution" in the image I've attached.
I have both Designer and Photo, so I can use either/both to solve this problem.
I've searched the forums and found a couple old posts that suggest a) there isn't or b) such a feature might be coming at some later date.
Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Darin

Hi,
I've the following scaling issue:
I have a logo that consists of several shapes and 2 text paths. The logo is used as a symbol, in different layouts for mobile and web screens.
How can I scale the logo including its child-objects (the 2 text on paths), without loosing the correct visual appearance of the logo?
If I scale the logo (the whole object) down:
- the text wraps around the curves (as it is described in the AD help)
- that means I have my big logo (which looks good) a smaller logo with to large text, so I have to modify the text separately on the smaller logo (the instance of the symbol). But if I do so, I loose the correct visualization on the other symbols (the original, the bigger ones).
And vice versa. An infinite loop...
1.) I need an option like "scale with object" as it exists for layerFX or
2.) the default scaling behavior of text on paths must be like that
Thanks a lot for your time, your ideas, your help,
Stefan.

Hi,
I encountered multiple problems lately while importing a PSD file.
The text that is set on a circle is simply converted into a frame text. The mask doesn’t work as expected.
stamp psd import.afdesign
To compare here is the same file modified to match the original result :

PS. I’m still a bit baffled by the mask problem. Even though I found a way to make it work like I wanted, it makes no sense to me that the imported PSD doesn’t work as expected.

Ok guys...I'm sure there's a simple solution that I am just overlooking here. I fully understand the text on a path setup but I'm interested in something a little different.
I would like my top edge of my font to remain straight. I would like the bottom edge of my font to follow a path. I don't want to cut out that portion of the letters, just have them follow a path. I am attaching an image that is similar to what I am trying to do so it hopefully makes more sense.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi guys...quick question for those with experience with text on a path.
I am familiar with how to place text on a path but I don't know how to adjust the starting point of the text. In the past, I have done text on a path in a circle for a couple logos and if it started in an odd location, I would just rotate the text until it was correct. Now I am placing text on a path but not in a circle and I can't figure out how to adjust the starting point. If I rotate the text like I did with a circle it no longer follows the shape.
Thanks in advance!

If this shows up elsewhere my apologies. I thought I had successfully posted it but it disappeared.
I'm an old Freehand user. There are two features of Freehand I cannot find elsewhere, would like to know if AD can do either:
1) Align nodes. In FH the align tools also worked on nodes (control points, handles, etc.) within bezier curves. You could draw a line, select two nodes, and align them.
2) Easily and quickly wrap text to a circle and have the text on the bottom read upright. In FH you'd type text on the sphere/path and hit enter to break the line and everything after would be right side up. Like this:
